Portable Food Ideas
« on: August 27, 2011, 02:11:07 am »
I'm trying to get my girlfriend on to raw foods, especially animal foods more... the problem we find for her is that because she is a pilot for Delta Airlines she is traveling often and for anywhere from 2 - 14 days. She's not always near a grocery store and frankly she's a bit lazy about that kind of stuff. That of course doesn't make my goals for her any easier but I love her and want her to have the kind of health I do.

So I was hoping you could share ideas for foods that are fairly stable at room temperature and will keep for at least a few days at a time while traveling. Sometimes she has a refrigerator other times not so much.

I'm looking for snack foods that are filling, tasty and nutrient dense, or bare minimum not unhealthy. A lot of the junk she takes with her now include processed "organic" crackers and so on. In other words devitalized industrial foods. She is totally on board with organic and sustainable foods, and she can afford them, so that's not an issue, it's just ideas for specific foods I need help with.

Thanks in advance!

Well, beef jerky and hard raw fruits like apples would last. Also buy raw meat like Bressaola.

Any dried, matured meat can be kept for a while at room temperature. Eggs and fresh fruits such as apples, pears and oranges will also. Unripe avocados will take some days to ripen. Nuts, carob, tamarind, honey, pollen, dates and desiccated fruits can last a few years.
Cause and effect are distant in time and space in complex systems, while at the same time there’s a tendency to look for causes near the events sought to be explained. Time delays in feedback in systems result in the condition where the long-run response of a system to an action is often different from its short-run response. — Ronald J. Ziegler

I am a service electrician who travels from job to job and have to eat my lunch on the go all the time.

Its easy for me to eat on the run, all I do is cut up some squares of meat and fat and fill up a standard sized mason jar. Then when lunch time comes around I can find a little corner and wolf it down in five minuets. On hot days you can freeze the meat and by lunch time it will have thawed. If there is any left over I will set it out on the counter to age slightly and then eat it with my dinner.

I have gone on trips with packs of frozen meats and kept it in hotel freezers, There has to be a discrete way to keep raw meat frozen on the airline.

she's not quite there yet, still only amenable to small amounts of raw animal foods and even then she's a bit smarmy about it. It's weak, but oh well, it's a start and better than abject refusal.
